The New Hampshire Gazette And General Advertiser

July 30. The town of Savannah was evacuated by the British troops on the 11th of this month : the public stores and effects of the inhabitants who have come away, being previously removed down to the island of Tybee. On the 20th of the same month, a fleet sailed from Tybee for Jamaica, with about 800 Negroes, and other property of the loyalists, under convoy of the Zebra frigate and Vulture sloop of war. Two days afterwards another fleet, having on board about 2000 Negroes, sailed for St. Augustine. - On the evening of the same day, Col. Brown, with a part of his regiment, the militia troops of horse dismounted, some militia infantry, and about 300 Indians, the whole making together nearly the number of 1900 persons, embarked in small vessels to proceed to East-Florida, by the inland navigation.

The whole number of persons, independent of his Majesty's troops, who have left Georgia in consequence of the evacuation of Savannah, is said to be nearly 7000, of which number 5000 are Negroes, who, according to some accounts, are at least three fourths of all the slaves in the province of Georgia. Among the 2000 whites who have likewise come away, are almost all the wealthy inhabitants of the province, and many of the lower class of the people.
